In 1930 his friend past away, and he under graduated from Kings College, Cambridge University. From 1932 to 1935 he took an interest in Quantum mechanics. Then he was elected fellow of King's College, Cambridge in 1935. In 1936 the Turing machine, computability, universal machine was invented. From 1936 to 1939 he applied to Princeton University were he wanted his Ph.D. Logic, went to study algebra, and the number theory.By 1938 to 1939 he returned to Cambridge and was introduced to the German Enigma Cipher Machine.By 1939-40 the Bombe, a machine for Enigma decryption was invented by Alan himself. In 1931, Alan Turing committed suicide after being harassed for his homosexuality

He made Colossus which was the first programmed computer. He also made a computing device named the Turing Machine that was able to keep information and answer questions, it was mainly used for mathematical purposes.

Anecdotes & Quotations
"Science is a differential equation, religion is a boundary condition."Turing once said. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1951. He was also honored for his contribution to the war and got a O.B.E. in 1945.
"We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done."
"I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machine thinking without expecting to be contradicted."
"Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity."
